Letter: Sound Off is right; sound quality of local meeting broadcasts is poor

The Sound Off question of poor TV sound (on local government broadcasts) is right on. In the audio biz we have a saying, “If bad sound were fatal, sound-systems would be the leading cause of death.”

We could make this better, but what we have here is a ‘failure to communicate!” Perhaps the people being displayed would rather not be heard. Perhaps a monopoly service-provider is shirking their duty to make this adequate. It’s not as shocking that a small township board would have a lower-budget system, but the City of Mt. Pleasant is one of the worst, with its horrendous HUMM. Big dollars were spent on that A/V system and this is the accepted result. It’s shameful that our fine city is publicly represented this way, and that public monies are so wasted with failed oversight. It’s a wheel that needs additional squeaking. Those who agree, should squeak up!
